Seven String Strats and Teles...yep another update

I've noticed even more talk on here about how cool seven string Strats and Teles would be so I thought I would let everyone in on where it all stands.

It stands about where it was last time. But this isn't a bad thing. It hasn't gone backward and USACG is still wanting to push forward. Remember USACG is a small shop and this will take time. But in all honesty we are way ahead of where I expected us to be when I first e-mailed them last summer. Also I just talked to Rob at USACG and he's hopeful after the turn of the year we can start really pushing towards putting these into production. We are very close really. Over the next few weeks I'm going to get a move on putting the final pieces together so we can get this all finalized.

A huge thanks to Scott for designing a great bridge for Telecasters, without it I doubt we could have done anything close to a traditional Tele. Thanks Scott.

So hopefully sometime fairly soon I will have some kind of announcement. I can't make any promises or set any timelines. But it is moving forward and I hope soon we can get some seven string strats and teles.

Right now I have seen the CAD renderings, which sadly I am not allowed to share to protect USACG's work, but they do look quite nice.

They have a basic list of options that will be offered, I can't share that either. Sorry.

Most of what is left is fine tuning it so it comes out really good.

There are some issues with finding pickups for them to use in setting up the sizes for pickup routes, I'm working on that. Also I need to find a pickguard source.

A set of 7 string single coils from Seymour Duncan's custom shop is ~$300
